From “Talking Points Memo”
This from Josh Marshall’s Talking Points Memo, one of the best political blogs:
So on exporting democracy …
1. President encourages supporters to accuse newspaper reporters of treason: check.
2. President mandates systematic use of torture: check.
3. President routinely asserts right to ignore laws passed by Congress: check.
What am I missing?
Actually, I think it’s more one of those trick questions. Like, we’re not exporting ‘democracy’ but our democracy. So, as we send it to them, we lose ours.
